I just came back from my doctor's appt. She was giving me a breast exam and felt something. She said that it might just be fatty tissue, as she really thinks it is, but she scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow. I am NERVOUS!!!! I didn't feel anything. To me, my breasts feel the same throughout, but she is trained in that sort of thing so I'll take her word for it.

Y'all, but in some OVERTIME prayers tonight because I am more scared than a black man at a Klan rally. Ok, it's not time for jokes, but I am seriously nervous. I won't tell my mom until after I get my results. If it's nothing, I'll never tell her it happened. I know how she is and if I tell her now, she'll have me admitted to a cancer ward within the next four hours.

Please send a few up for me!!

Prayers on the way, sistahdivah!!!!!

Lord,

I lift before You today the request of every person in this thread and on this board who’s heart is heavy. Father, I ask that Your holy anointing fills their spirit and mind, allowing them to cast their cares, worries, burdens, and thoughts upon you, which is something that You ASK us to do.

Remind us Father that we are not in this fight alone while here on earth and although we each may be pressed from side to side with obstacles that seem to us larger than the tallest mountain, remind us that to You, it is but a speck of sand – so small and insignificant.

Lord, we know that regardless as to what lie, trick, or worrisome thought that the devil tries to throw at us, YOU ARE STILL ON THE THRONE. A bad health report doesn’t cause you to blink, because you are our Great Physician. A broken heart doesn’t cause you pain, because You are the Lover of our soul. An uncertain future does not cause you to fill with fear, because You charted our course on this earth before we were even formed in our mother’s womb.

YOU ARE STILL IN CONTROL of each and every situation that we face. So Lord, may we, even in our scariest, darkest hour – even when we just don’t know what to do or say – even when we feel like there is nothing that can be done, may we know that You are ALWAYS right there, watching over us ever so lovingly and with great protection.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

I will be in constant prayer agreement with you, girlie.

I just came from the Breast Center for my ultrasound and the Dr. told me that I am OK!! :D :D She said that she saw nothing unusual in my breast. She said that right around the time for your period, your breasts get a little more lumpy and bumpy and that's about all that it was. Whew!!

Thank you for all the prayers!! I was cool, nervous, scared, anxious, and everything else all at the same time. I was calm and cool for a while, but my mind kept wandering. "What am I going to do with CANCER at 24?" was all I kept thinking. When I got there, I knew I was in good hands, but it was still a scary feeling. I started crying before the Dr. came in because I suddenly got scared and overwhelmed. As she was scanning my breast, I kept staring at the screen thinking any little speck that I saw was some sort of cancerous tumor. However, after a few minutes, she turned on the lights and told me that she didn't see anything abnormal and that it was just a precaution. I ran up out of there happy and all I could do was sit in my car for a minute and cry and thank God. What a load off my mind!

Again, thank you all for praying for me!!! :D :D

YES!

Please pray for my 15 year old cousin (Moni, this is Betty's daughter). She had surgery last week to correct spine curvature but it was so bad that they had to collapse one of her lungs to correct the curvature. Right now the lung is still not properly inflated and she is on Percocet.

Thanks. :)

Prayers are on the way!:)

I'll be praying for your little cuz.

As will I Carla! ;)

Consider it done, Carla.

Done. I didn't know Betty had a child this young.

This young? Jasmine is 15 and Jermaine is about 11 or so. They were born when I was in high school. Betty is about 33 or 34.

Thanks you all for the prayers. My mom was supposed to go visit yesterday after church but I have not talked to her.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Over the weekend, I had some cramping and bleeding. Hubby took me to the ER and they did an ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed that I had a type of miscarriage called a blighted ovum. This is when the egg is fertilized and you get pregnant but the egg dies either before it gets to the uterus or some weeks after. In the meanwhile, your body produces all the other things that you need for pregnancy. (It's kind of like your body is getting ready for the prom but your date stood you up.) Once this happens, your body will either expel everything on its own or you can have it surgically removed. My OB decided that it's taking too long for my body to get rid of everything naturally (thus setting me up for infection) and scheduled me for surgery tomorrow afternoon. I am a little bit frightened at being put to sleep, but I know that this is for the best. Hubby and I have been talking about this and praying over this for the last few days and we have to come to a sort of quiet acceptance about this even though we are very disappointed that we won't be having a baby right now. Just please pray for us during this difficult time. Thanks a lot, ya'll.

9dstpm, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers.
